Ten of Wands

Suit of Wands · fire

The Ten of Wands is the weight of everything you have taken on, the cost of carrying a cycle to its end. It asks you to notice which burdens are truly yours and which you have shouldered out of habit or obligation. Reflect on what you might set down before the destination is reached.

The image

A figure bends forward carrying all ten staffs in a heavy bundle, face obscured by the load. A town lies ahead, close but reached only through strain.
